L.S. Dunes Drop Sophomore Album Violet Alongside “Forgiveness” Music Video

Post-hardcore supergroup L.S. Dunes have marked the release of their sophomore album, Violet, today (January 31st) with the debut of a music video for the track “Forgiveness.”

Comprised of members from My Chemical Romance, Thursday, Coheed and Cambria, and more, the band continues to push the boundaries of post-hardcore with their latest effort.

Regarding this new single, guitarist Travis Stever shared:

“This is a song that lived in all of us for years. We had it in us way before we even knew each other. We could only bring it to life together. Each individual brings a certain element and strength to the song that gives it its wings.”

Guitarist Frank Iero added:

“Late one night while working on the preproduction for Past Lives Travis started finger picking these chords and it hit me like a ton of bricks, I immediately heard the whole (instrumental) song in my head. We worked out most of the arrangement and instrumentation in demo form and I just knew it had the potential to be something really special.

But we were brand new at working together at that point and we had a lot of songs that were coming together right before recording… and honestly, looking back I don’t think this song would have fit on Past Lives, so I’m really glad it sat and waited for us. I think it might be one of most beautiful songs I have had a hand in creating, and it really rides that line of fragility meets power that I adore.”
